Officers took the boy into custody and charged him with evading arrest or detention, theft, failure to identify and consumption of alcohol by a minor.

While police were questioning the 15-year-old at the police station, a 14-year-old and a 19-year-old continually were calling 911 to check on their arrested friend.

Officers went to a residence in 800 block of Houston where they arrested the 19-year-old for prohibited weapon and consumption of alcohol by a minor and the 14-year-old for consumption of alcohol by a minor.

The 19-year-old was taken to the Hale County jail where he was being held this morning on bonds totaling $2,700. The 15-year-old was transported to the Lubbock County Youth Center.

Since the charges for the 14-year-old were not severe enough to be taken to Lubbock, he was released to his family.

However, officers received a call from the family around 4:20 a.m. because the boy was being disruptive at a residence in the 1100 block of Lexington. Officers took the boy back to the police department while they talked with officials from the youth center in Lubbock to decide what to do with him, Balderas said.

While there he began yelling profanities at officers and kicking cabinet doors.

When an officer attempted to place him in hand restraints, the 14-year-old would not comply and began to resist, forcing the officer to subdue him on the ground.

When they got him back on his feet, the boy, who was bleeding from the mouth, spit blood into the officer’s face.

The officers then placed him under arrest for resisting arrest, search or transport and harassment of a public servant.
